Patented Feb. 26, 1907.

Application filed May31,1906. Serial No. 319,537.

To LZZ whom it may con/cern,.-

Be it known that I, SCOTT PEOK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Modesto, in the county of Stanislaus and State of California, have invented a new and useful Measuring Device;' and I do hereby declare the followin to be a full, clear, and exact description o the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in measuring devices whereby produce consisting of particles of grain or any other granulated form of pro'duct may be measured inany requisite quantity by means of a rotatable cylinder and a horizontal movable head, which head is reciprocated by means of worm-screw and is also guided in itsreciprocations by means of an integral rib of the rotatable cylinder, the device having a hopper and a chute, as shown clearly in the drawings.

This invention comprises further objects and combinations of elements, which will be hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings, and the novel features thereofwill be pointed out by the appended claim. f

To obtaina full and correct understanding of the details of construction, combinations of features, elements, and advantages, reference is to be had to the hereinafter set forth y description and the accompanying drawings 1n connection therewith, wherein- Figure 1 is asperspective view of the meast uring device shown in accordance with the invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the device. Fig. 3 is a horizontal cross-section. Fig. 4 is a detail of the `rotatable cylinder and the horizontal movable head. Fig. 5 is a vertical section on line 5 5 of Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates the casing of the device,having a hopper 2 in the upper ortion thereof, an inclined chutev 3, locate( in the lower ortion of the casing, as shown,'and a rotatablle cylinder 4, positioned between the two, as illustrated, for the pur-1 i pose of/receiving that which is to be measl l ured. lThis cylinder is housed in a suitable casing 15, and one end of said cylinder is prol, vided with anapertured boss 6, which forms i a bearing for one end of a worm-screw 5, while theothei end thereof is received by an aperture 7 in the rear wall of the cylinder. i Theboss has a bearing inthe wall of the cas l ing 1`, as shown, and is connected with a laterally-projecting arm V8 and an operatingl handle 9 for the purpose of rotating the said l cylinder to dump the measured quantity.

To gage that which is to be measured, a movable head 10 is rovided, which is mounted within the cylin er and is reciprocated by means of the worm-screw 5 and guided in its horizontal movement by means of a rib 11, integral with the bottom of the cylinder, which rib 11 is received by the horizontally disposed recess 12 of the movable 'head 10, as shown clearly in Fig. 5 of the drawings.

To operate .the worm-screw so as,to move the head 10, one end thereof isA rovided with a laterally-projecting arm' 13, aving an operating-handle 14, which arm 13 is short 1n length, so as to pass freely the operatinghandle 9, as will be readily understood from the drawings.

Having thus described the invention,.what is claimed as new and useful by the protection of Letters Patent is.

In a measuring device, a casing having a hopper 'and chute therefor,` a rotatable cylinder havingj a bearing and an apertured boss 1 j ournaled etween' the hopperand the chute, a worm-screw the ends of which are journ aled i in the bearing and theapertured boss, a head i movable by the worm-screw, an arm and an 1 operating-handle for (rotating the screw and l an arm having an operating-handle carried l, by the boss for rotating the cylinder.

In testimony whereof I have signed my l name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
